And the main idea of this song is to tell the un-easy and the difficulties of being a person. We all have beautiful wishes, but reality is usually so hard. No matter how you try your best, you can’t do it. We felt deep helplessness from the song.

Because of the suggestions of the group owner, I have checked some information about this song, and I know that the song is written and sung for patients with depression. I have gone through the song and its lyrics, but I didn’t have a strong impression of it. Maybe it is because I am too old to be up to dates. I usually like songs with beautiful lyrics and melodies, especially the lyrics. It should be very meaningful and can inspire us. There are lots of these kinds of Chinese songs, for instance,
在这相似的深夜里, 你是否一样, 也在静静追悔感伤. 如果当时我们能不那么倔强现在也不那么遗憾
--刘若英《后来》
你是千堆雪我是长街, 怕日出一到彼此瓦解.
--王菲《邮差》
最美的不是下雨天,
是曾与你躲过雨的屋檐.
--周杰伦《不能说的秘密》and so on. These lyrics are very beautiful and meaningful and it can easily touch your heart. However, I am very glad to know that you like this song so much. Maybe each song belongs to a different person.

Por alguna razón he estado muy cansada durante todo este fin de semana. Anoche me fui a dormir más temprano que lo normal y me levanté a las 10:00.

Después del desayuno, no tuve la energía ni las ganas de hacer algo en particular y volví a la cama para descansar. Aunque me habría gustado ir al museo o pasar el día leyendo con mi amiga, creo que tomar un descanso es nunca una cosa mala.

A Chinese Language Partner

I occasionally talk with Chinese people as language exchange partners, one of them said to me in March that she will take a Chinese CPA exam in Nobenmber this year. So, she wants to halt chatting with me. Of course, I agree with her. She was a married woman working as an accountant in Shanghai. When I met her, she was working in a law office as a Japanese interpreter, it comes to her Japanese, she can barely talk to Japanese companies' Japanese employees in Japanese. She graduated from a famous graduate school of Jilin Province, and got a JLPT First class certificate, though, I think that the practices of her Japanese talking were not enough. Particularly, when she talks with a Japanese on the phone, it's so hard for her understand what the Japanese is talking about.

That's the reason I began to talk with her, after half a year passed, she managed to understand what a Japanese was talking about, in terms of me, felt like miraculous, her boss raised her Japanese language levelled up, and her boss also graduated from graduate school of the Hokkaido University, and had obtained a doctorate degree of civil law. However, for some reason, her boss cannot speak Japanese so well. Her boss's doctoral dissertation seemed to be barely passed.

During that time I had talked with her almost every day. Unfortunately, I could not but stopping to talk with her, because her boyfriend got jealous of me, she was talking beside him in Japanese. Her boyfriend couldn't understand any of the Japanese. I like dad jokes, making her laugh beside him seemed to make her boyfriend get jealous of me. We ended up talking. I don't know real reason, she implied the reason, but I don't want to pry into the real reason. Actually, I was a third wheel.

Min dansk er ikke så god endnu

Min dansk er ikke så god endnu. Jeg kender ikke mange ord. Dansk grammatik er ikke så svært for mig, fordi jeg har lært tysk, og jeg tror, det hjælper. Der er også mange lignende ord mellem tysk og dansk.

Jeg bor nu i Rio de Janeiro, den næststørste by i Brasilien. Jeg har arbejdet i 5 år i São Paulo, den største by i mit land. Jeg har også boet i næsten 9 år i Japan. Jeg taler portugisisk, engelsk, japansk, spansk, tysk, noget russisk, og jeg prøver nu at lære andre sprog.

Jeg elsker at lære sprog, at rejse, at møde nye mennesker og at opdage nye ting. Jeg håber, at jeg en dag kan rejse til Danmark og opleve dette interessante land.

Journal 11/16/20

Yesterday a foreigner on HelloTalk sent me a message and said he wanted to set up a language exchange group and invite me to join. I checked his profile and found out that he is living in Hefei now. Hefei is the capital city of my province. When I found out about these, I felt he was very kind, so I joined the WeChat group. Many of the group members are foreigners and they come from all over the world. Some of them are from South Africa, some are from Brazil, and some are from Myanmar. The group owner is from the US and yesterday he walked Shu mountain with a few of the group members in Hefei. I always read the words that the group owner wrote seriously because I want to learn more from him. I find that there is really something different from what I usually learn. For example, I used to write climb mountains, but he just says walk mountains. There are still many more. After all, I think I learned a lot from him.

The Premodern Age

In the premodern age, the western world view came mostly from two sources: first, Christian religion which was mostly based on the teachings of the Bible and the Church’s interpretation of it, and the other, the philosophy of ancient Greek especially Aristotle’s views. Thomas Aquinas was the main intellectual figure in the middle ages who incorporated these two currents and shaped the world view of his era. This world view was predicated on the assumption of the existence of a good and wise God who had an on-going presence in all the components of the world. His wisdom gives a reasonable and understandable order to the framework of the world, and his goodness made the fear of living in a wild and unkind world tolerable. In other words, the presence and the authority of this well-intentioned and wise being made the world united and familiar with the scared and shied existence of humans, and therefore, the world became transformed from a threatening and frightening place to a safe and relaxing shelter or home. Thus, the grand religious narrative made humans assimilated into the world, that is to say, made a sort of life flow into the veins of the world, and made its structure look as if it was sensitive to the actions of humans and showed proportional and, often, predictable reactions to them. Therefore, in the framework of this grand narrative, humans could, at least somewhat, tame the world’s destructive and rebellious forces such as death, natural disasters, injustice, and social violence through the propitiation of wise and kind God.

Los restaurantes

No sé cuando los primeros restaurantes aparecí. Debió de haber sido antes de los romanos. En los tiempos antiguos, había hostels que también se servía la comida. Durante el imperio romano, era común salir a un restaurante para cenar, especialmente en las ciudades como Pompeii. Pues, no estoy seguro sobre las personas súper ricas, pero la gente común lo hacía. Mientras aldeas y pueblos falten la elección de variedad, las ciudades suelen tener muchas diferentes comidas étnicas, mostrado la diversidad del lugar. Es interesante mirar todos los restaurantes rodeados en GoogleMaps y tal. Creo que te permite ver la diversidad del área. Aunque la comida es modificada para la gente del área, cada restaurante debe ser cómodo y amable para todos.

Happy Pain

Few days ago, I am reading my friend’s post.

She said she can do 50 pushups in one round.

30 years ago, I can do 90 plus pushup in one round.

Anyway, motivate by her good behave.

Yesterday, I try to do 50 pushups too.

In my current condition one time 50 pushups is impossible.

My first attempt was 15 only.

So, I waited another hour to do the next set.

And the end of the day, totally did 48 pushups.

Close enough.

But today my while body is in pain.

I did try to pushups again, but only able to make 5 pushups!

Even I am in a lot of muscle pain but I will call that as happy pain.

Fuera de mi propio corazón

(Disculpa el tono sombrío de mi texto, y gracias por leerlo)

Hace algunos meses, aprendí lo que significaba querer a alguien. Siempre había parecido como un sentimiento demasiado fuerte para que yo aún pueda conocerlo, así que mi vida estaba demasiado rara, y no muy abierta sobre el mundo. Y cuando occurró, yo necesité demasiado tiempo para entender que estaba enamorada. Después de seis meses juntas, yo estaba empezando a entender algunas de esas cosas, pero ella empezó a no poder estar más presente para mi. Entonces me explicó que no podía soportar el peso y que tuvimos que interrumpir nuestra relación algun tiempo. Hoy estamos apartes desde hace siete días y recuerdo como yo amaba saber todo de ella. Me siento débil y lucho con el miedo que no vuelva más. Me parece como si yo estuviera fuera de mi propio corazón, suficientemente fuerta para continuar a vivir, pero no para sentirme llena.

Quando foi a última vez que você foi num restaurante?

Eu fui para a última vez num restaurante em setembro. Infelizemente, os restaurantes são fechados desde outubro e nós não sabemos quando eles vão abrir de novo. Eles são fechados por causa de Covid19.

Então eu peço comida para entregar. Eu acho que nós devemos ajudar os restaurantes para sobreviver, é porque eu peço comida e quando eles vão abrir eu iria comer no restaurante.

Mein Streak!

Seit zwei Tagen, habe ich auf Reddit keine Texte geschrieben. Ich denke daran, dass ich Deutsch vergessen habe. Zurzeit bin ich nicht in Deutschland, sondern bei meiner Mutter. Das liegt daran, dass die Vorlesungen online angeboten werden. Deswegen sagte mir meine Mutter, dass ich neues Jahr bei ihr feiern soll.

Mit meinem Deutchlernen gibt es eine Pause, weil ich mit Uni-Fächern beschäftigt bin. Für sechs Uni-Fächer habe ich mich angemeldet. Das ist zu viel, jedoch muss ich auch Zeit für das Deutschlernen finden muss.

Cooking Creamy Pasta

Today, I cooked for my family to eat something that everyone ate. This meal was a pasta! Few weeks ago, we made a dinner competetion at home because of my mother was bored to cook. In that competetion, I cooked creamy pasta that I made up at my student's home. They like it bu I lost it. To be honest, everyone shocked that I could nice and edible meal for them.

Today, my mother didn't want to cook and asked me to cook the pasta that I made that day. I made it but this time, that wasn't good.

Bör USA ha allmän sjukvårdsförsäkring?

Hej allihopa, idag tänkte jag prata om ett ämne som står mig nära - tillgång till sjukvård i USA. Varför står ämnet nära mig? Under hela 2018 hade jag inte råd att köpa sjukvårdsförsäkring som student, och jag känner till många andra studenter som hamnade i samma läget som jag. Det här menar att om jag eller någon av de skulle ha en olycka skulle vi bli tvungen att betala alla kostnader "out of pocket", alltså utan stöd från en försäkringsbolag. Och eftersom sjukvårdstjänster är så dyra i USA skulle det lätt leda till att vi går i konkurs (sjukvårds betalning är den primära anledningen för att gå i konkurs i USA). Så frågan blir då - hur löser vi det här problemet?

Sedan 2010-talet har efterfrågan för någon allmän sjukvårdsförsäkring blivit större och större, särskilt i de 2016 och 2020 valen. Några politiker har sagt att de vill förbjuda privata försäkringsbolag som får vinster från kundernas betalningar medan andra vill hitta ett sätt att få alla skyddas (jag vet inte om det här ordet funkar här) med de privata bolagen som redan finns. Jag har inte lösningen till problemet, men jag vet att någonting måste göras om vi vill att alla amerikaner ska känna sig trygga i sitt eget land.

Arbeit in Deutschland

-Das Schwierigste ist, sich selbst ganz ehrlich zu beschreiben. Deshalb habe ich eine meiner lieben deutschen Freundinnen, Elena Steel, gebeten, ein paar Worte über mich zu schreiben. Sie stammt aus Deutsch-Köln und arbeitet als klinische Psychologie

-- meine freundin elena ist eigentlich diejenige, die dies vorschlägt, damit ich in die deutsche kultur eingeführt werden kann, die wirklich so ist und es liebt, mehr deutsche menschen zu kennen und mein schwaches deutsch zu verbessern. Ich plane danach, mich entweder für einen psychologiestudiengang einzuschreiben oder zu finden Eine Berufsausbildung vielleicht im Hopital oder eine Arbeit mit meinem Abschluss in Soziologie, die weniger wahrscheinlich ist. Ich liebe es, dass deutsche Menschen einen hohen Stellenwert für Lernen und Bildung haben, und ich möchte das von ihnen aufgreifen und mich selbst verbessern

Eine Bewertung über Dark Souls 1

Dark Souls wird oft als ein Klassiker geschätzt und ich stimme damit zu. Was macht das Spiel besonders ist das Kampfsystem und die Weltstruktur. Am Anfang fühlt sich das Kampfsystem schwer und ungeschickt, aber als man lernt wie es funktioniert, erkennt man, dass es eigentlich wirklich genau ist. Die Entscheidungen in Kämpfen, die man macht, wirklich eine Wirkung auf Erfolg haben. Es ist nicht so einfach als sogenannten "hack-and-slash" Spiele, die nichts mit der Fähigkeit des Spielers zu tun haben.

Die Weltstruktur ist so besonders, weil es nicht die typische, direkte lineare Form ist. Obwohl es ist linear, insofern dass man einige Aufgaben machen muss, um Erfolgreich zu sein, machen die Regionen der Welt einen wirklich interessanten Kreis und der Spieler hat viele "unsichtbare" Entscheidungen zu treffen. Der Kreis kommt aus den klugen, unerwarteten Verbindungen zwischen Orte, die es möglich machen, überall zu gehen. Die Entscheidungen sind manchmal eigentlich unsichtbar, wie geheimnisse Orte zu finden, aber andere sind unsichtbar im Prinzip, da die Welt und die Geschicht so mysteriös sind. Man weißt nie genau wie offenbar kleine Aktionen die ganze Welt ändern können.

Dark Souls hat natürlich viele Fehler. Es ist manchmal undeutlich und verwirrend, und manche Eigenschaften des Spieles fühlen als ob die Designer noch nicht fertig waren. Trotzdem ist es ein fantastisches Spiel, das hat erfolgreich innoviert.

Een dagboekbericht

15 november

Dit zijn rare tijden. Ik zat er bijna de hele nacht over na te denken, en ik ben tot de conclusie gekomen dat ik eerlijk gezegd denk dat een van de grootste fouten van mijn leven was dat ik niet genoeg tijd voor jou had. Ik ben nog jong, dus natuurlijk ga ik soms fouten maken. Maar bij sommige fouten dringt het niet volledig tot je door wat je precies gedaan hebt totdat een beetje tijd voorbij is gegaan, en dat is volgens mij niet alleen bij jonge mensen het geval. Als ik op precies dit moment in de tijd terug zou kunnen gaan, zou ik mijn hele zomer met jou doorbrengen want jij bent het belangrijkste in mijn leven - en zeker niet mijn werk.

Jij bent écht een van de beste mensen die ik ooit ontmoet heb, ik wil dat niet verliezen, en ik wil met niemand anders dan jou samen zijn (dit meen ik echt). Ik ben bereid om mijn uiterste best te doen want ik ben ervan overtuigd dat we een goede relatie kunnen hebben. Nu moeten we natuurlijk onze relatie langzaamaan herbouwen maar ik wil er heel graag aan werken en ik hoop dat jij hier ook nog potentieel in ziet. Ik vraag me af wat er in de toekomst gaat gebeuren, maar het enige wat ik nu kan doen is afwachten.

旅行

我想去每个国家。我已经旅行过加拿大,美国,中国,冰岛,智利,南非,等等。我去年冬天打算了旅行日本和韩国。但是我不去因为我很忙。 之后没有人可以旅行。很遗憾。关于日本,我想吃饭还有爬山富士山。我超喜欢爬山。富士山很美丽, 风景特别精彩。我也想看到日本的樱花。我的家乡也有樱花。把樱花树给我的家乡。在樱花季节,我担心日本会太拥挤。所以我不会去。

我特别喜欢韩国的料理。泡菜不错。我爸住过在韩国。他不喜欢泡菜。辛苦了哈哈。我真的想吃韩国风格的烧烤。Bulgogi 和 samgyeopsal很好吃。我觉得Samgyeopsal比bulgogi好吃。

我相信明年我能够旅行。

Das Experiment

Ich habe den Film "Das Experiment" für erste Mal gesehen, und ich finde es sehr spannend! Keine Sorge, ich wurde keine Spoiler hier schreiben :)

Das Thema ist eine Gruppe, in der die Leute alle Fremde sind. Deshalb gibt es keine Beziehung zwischen sie.

Sie sind in einem Experiment, das zwei Wochen bleibt. Das Experiment simuliert wie ein Gefängnis, also gibt es Gefangenen und Polizeien.

Die Teilnehmer wurden in diesem zwei Rollen geteilt, und besonders Regeln folgen. Die Idee unter den Film ist: überwachen, wie wir uns mit Autorität und Extremsituationen verhalten.

Ich werde nicht mehr sagen. Du musst es selbst anschauen!

Journal 11/15/20

Because of the time difference, I have dropped out of the highest streak list several times. At first I was very confused because I write a journal everyday. Why is this the case? Finally, I find that if I write in the morning, I should always write in the morning. If I write in the morning today and I write in the afternoon tomorrow, then the site system will think I haven’t written for a day. That is just because of the time difference. Because of this, I have suffered a lot of losses. I should be more careful about this later.

Comparing two countries

(I'm afraid that there should be a table of the results of the survey, but I cannot show you it. I'm sorry)

1.(one of my friend's)
Percentage of people who are satisfied with themselves is 46% in Japan, and 86% in the United States. It shows that many people it in the U.S. are satisfied with themselves but much fewer people in Japan are satisfied with themselves that in the U.S. I think Japanese people are so modest and want to improve themselves, so the percentage is low compared with American people. In the contrary, I think American people are so confident of themselves and positive so the percentage is high compared with Japanese people.

2.(mine)
According to the survey, the number of people who want to be useful for my country is larger in Japan than in the U.S. I think this show the difference of characteristics between the two. Japanese are said to put the emphasis on groups. They are not willing to make arguments because it disturb the atmosphere. Comparatively, Americans are said to put the emphasis on individuals. They will not hesitate to go against the others, because they have a right to do so, and want to do so. I think this difference made the different scores on the survey.
